Echoes

I woke up this morning to this playing in my head:

Salagadoola mechicka boolaBibbidi bobbodi boo

Sound familiar?

I had a Disney record with all the Disney songs on it, when I must have been 3 or 4, and a little record player that I listened to it on. I also clearly remember Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious. And the funny thing is that when I say Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious, I HEAR IT IN MY HEAD AS MUSIC! Anyway.

Here's the whole song:

Salagadoola mechicka boola

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

Put 'em together and what have you got

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

Salagadoola mechicka boola

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

It'll do magic believe it or not

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

Salagadoola means mechicka booleroo

But the thingmabob that does the job is

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

Salagadoola mechicka boola

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

Put 'em together and what have you got

bibbidi-bobbidi

bibbidi-bobbidi

bibbidi-bobbidi-boo

In my book, some nonsense words and a little make believe can go a long way. When did we get too sophisticated for that?
